A multiple segment glass fiberizing spinner and method of making same provides a product of low cost and improved service life. The spinner comprises a plurality of, preferably four, segments of a cast alloy having a large number of small radially oriented apertures disposed about its periphery. Each segment is preferably investment cast. After casting, the segments may be trued if necessary by heating and forming. The segments are then weighed and same-weight segments are welded end-to-end to form a hoop or annulus. Next, a larger plurality of small bores are formed in the sidewall of the spinner. Finally, an optional bottom disc is secured to the segmented annulus, preferably by welding.

A disposable, substantially circular spinner of finite useful life comprised of an axially extending side wall having a plurality of discrete, defined holes therein through which fibers may be formed by centrifugal force by rotation of said spinner and having a cross-sectional configuration capable of containing molten fiberizable material therein such that all fibers formed must emanate from said discrete holes in said side wall, and wherein said spinner is formed of a plurality of segments extending axially to form said side wall of said circular spinner.
